Activity seems to have picked up a little bit this week, this morning was no different.

Police were dispatched to the area of W. 9th & Cardinal Drive at 12:26, following a report of arguing and screaming heard coming from one of the buildings. The caller believed the building would be in the 3300 block of W. 8th Street. Eventually, seven LPD units were assigned to the call and one person was arrested. Apparently one of the people involved in the disturbance had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and didn't want to be arrested. He apparently decided to stay inside the address and not let officers inside to investigate. Officers were talking back and forth about having a mug shot of the man, it sounded as though the man may have closed the door after seeing officers approaching. He was finally taken into custody about 1 a.m..

Based on scanner traffic, there was no immediate indication of a fight or struggle with officers but, this morning's county booking logs show the man now faces charges for interference with the duties of an officer and battery on a law enforcement officer in addition to the warrant. The warrant shows to be from 2011 in Shawnee County, for Possession of a Controlled Substance. No injuries were reported.

Eudora Police were called to the intersection of 10th & Ash shortly before 3 a.m., after a nearby resident reported a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot. The resident seemed to believe that the two occupants of the green SUV were going to burglarize a nearby business. Several deputies responded to the area and remained there for at least 25 minutes. It was unclear if there was an actual crime or nothing more than a suspicious vehicle. As of this report, no arrests have been recorded related to the activity.

None of this morning's activity was reported to have involved any serious injuries.

Lawrence Police responded on a total of 21 disturbances between midnight and 5 a.m..

The first significant disturbance was on Burning Tree Court, north of Kingsmill Road at 12:20 a.m.. A caller reported nearly 50 people arguing and watching a fight in the area. Five LPD units responded and reported numerous people standing around in the area. Officers called for Medics to respond to the scene for one subject with multiple injuries. Medics eventually transported a male in his early 20's from that scene to LMH. The male was said to be missing several teeth as a result of the fight. No arrests have been recorded related to this incident.

At 1:08, Police were called to an address in the 1100 block of Kentucky following a report of an unconscious subject who had been the victim of a battery. Three LPD units went into the scene as Fire Medical crews were staging nearby. Officers did not find anyone unconscious at the scene.

One person was transported by medics away from that scene with what were described as minor injuries. The Sheriff's Office booking logs show a male was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated, Driving While Suspended and an Open Container. It is unclear if that subject is the same person injured or if the injured person was a passenger in the vehicle.

About an hour later, at 2:22 a.m., Police were called to the Magic Lounge, formerly Taste Lounge, at 804 W. 24th Street for a large disturbance involving weapons. Several callers reported as many as 100 people standing outside of the building arguing and one man holding a gun. LPD's call log shows 18 units were involved on the call. Few other details were available.

Police reported that the vehicle was not on fire, only steam but, requested that firefighters continue to check the utility pole. Firefighters arrived to report one vehicle with heavy damage. The driver was not injured. Firefighters reported a fuse on the utility pole had tripped, likely causing the automatic fire alarms to trip in the area. Police arrested the driver, who now faces charges of OUI, No Insurance and Driving without a valid driver's license.

Westar Energy's website only showed one customer without electricity in the area. That service was restored about an hour later.
